	<description><![CDATA[Birthday present: For the first time in U.S. history, a park -- Harvey Milk Promenade Park in Long Beach, California -- has been named for the famed gay icon and activist. The park and nearby Equality Plaza were dedicated to the pioneer this morning, just one day before Harvey Milk Day (May 22) which commemorates his birthday: “The Harvey Milk Promenade Park is an example of how a small, well designed open space can transform its surroundings and provide a profound purpose. The park also serves as a place where visitors can learn about Harvey Milk and our very own Long Beach leaders who battled incredible odds for the rights of the LGBT community.”  ]]></description>

Disney representatives and security need to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere and require proper conduct and dress code on a daily basis." Too bad the new president of Disney World, George Kalogridis, is an openly-gay man.<br /> ]]></description>

In the video, McCormick told the nation's struggling youth LGBT population to hold on: "The things that are happening today are only typical of the hard times in which we live... If you don't have anything, keep searching. If you've lost what you used to have., keep trying. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, and it's your time to shine. Right now."

	<description><![CDATA[Dear friend: Pauline Friedman Phillips -- always a friend to her gay readers -- has succumbed to Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 94. The "Dear Abby" columnist changed the world with her progressive advice column, and was ahead of her time when it came to matters of the gay heart: "Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad. People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Bible to me. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve always been compassionate toward gay people.” For the full story, click the link below. ]]></description>
